Re: Diablo 4 Yearly Expansions Seemingly Confirmed by Blizzard

D4 is like a movie set version of the game it says that it is. It seems like it’s all there initially, but the further you get into it, you realize it’s all chipboard and being held together by some tape and twine. I’m sure if you paid for a couple seasons and yearly DLC’s, you might have a full game on your hands, some 200-300$ later…

Re: Diablo 4's Huge Patch Backlash Prompts Damage Control Chat with Blizzard Devs

This is the state the game should have been in at launch, not after people have had time to bring multiple characters past level 50. It's not so much the content of the patch, but rather the timing of it. People are rightfully pissed in my opinion, the game has no meaningful endgame so instead, everything will just take longer. I expect the anger to increase after tomorrow's stream, when they tell everyone how they're listening but don't plan to do anything about it.

@Tharsman It wasn’t meant as a derogative term necessarily and I don’t agree that every game type is formulaic. We have genres, and genres have tropes, conventions, etc etc. There are games that play it safe and follow the conventions of their genre very closely and games that take risks and departures. One is not necessarily worse than the other, it is just about taste. I am personally just less interested in conventional, regardless of genre. I had the same level of disinterest for GOW:R.

I have yet to see anything that has got me excited for this one. I was so sick of the first one by the time I rolled credits that finishing it felt like a chore. The only thing not by the numbers about that game is the traversal. “Bigger, more” just doesn’t do anything for me. Glad people are still interested in these formulaic open world games though, you’ll get your money’s worth on this one by the sounds of it.
